This refers to a work situation. This law states that if you fire the
dumbass at work, either his replacement
will be a dumbass, or another coworker
will take on the role of the company dumbass. Thus, you can never have a dumbass-free work place.
Well, we canned Jim for screwing up all the time, and now Bill does
nothing but fuck up. The law of infinite dumbasses never fails.
OR
Why
don't you fire Jim, he's a fuck up? Yeah, but I can deal with it, I'm afraid his replacement may be a bigger
dumbass.
